VID REC: Smallville - "Closer" (NC-17)

[laceymcbain.livejournal.com]

Vidder: mkitty_03
Musical artist: Nine Inch Nails
Pairing: Clark/Lex
Vidder on LJ: mkitty_03
Vidder's website: Infatuation
Why this vid kicks ass: This was the first video I saw that made me really sit up and go, "Wow." It's as close to porn as you can get without including (naked) footage from other shows, but this video is all Smallville. What makes it work so well is a combination of a great beat with explicit lyrics, well-chosen moments, and vidding techniques. For example, in the middle of the vid, the scenes shift into black-and-white, slow down, and you can really believe that Lex and Clark are getting it on. You'll find yourself replaying it over and over, and asking "what episode was THAT from?!" It's all in how it's put together, and mkitty_03 does it just right. However, since she's never satisfied, she's also done a Remix incorporating newer footage - and it's just as hot. *fans self* Enjoy!

You can download both vids from her website. Go to this page, then please right-click and save to your hard drive to spare the vidder's bandwidth. While you're at it, send the vidder some feedback. I know she'd love to hear from you.

Thanks for riding with me this month! I'm parking Lex's car in the garage and picking up Bodie and Doyle's Capri for the next month. See you in The Professionals recs!

You just made me life! Thank you so much for this. I'm already getting comments based on this rec! I'm all asquee and just really touched by all the kind things you've said! I wish I could have submitted this one to BasCon, but the vid quality was too poor:(

*mmmmwaaahhhhh*

Having just come back to this post to thank the reccer for, well, the rec (*thanks her!* :) ) - I'd like to say personally to you, AWESOME VID! "AU" style vids usually don't work for me b/c I keep placing the clips in their original context and they usually end up seeming kind of silly. But this vid? It's just HOT. The way you edit and use color? "You'll find yourself replaying it over and over, and asking "'what episode was THAT from?!'" Yeah. This is amazing work, I'm heading over to your website to see the REMIX. Wow! :)

You're very welcome for the rec. It's a really, really HOT vid - my friends thought I was exaggerating til I made them watch it. It really is as close to porn as you can get. *G*

FOR. REAL.

I don't remember who said it first (it wasn't me), but there are actors I would sell organs so as to pay them to be in a porn together. Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum are two such actors. And after seeing this vid? I kinda don't feel like I have to. :-D

Bwahaha! I'm glad your organs are not on the market anymore. (OMG, that sounds bad.) But I know exactly what you mean. Exactly. *EG*

Loves You

Hon, it was my absolute pleasure to rec this video, and besides that ... I felt compelled to share its hotness with everyone I know. Honestly, it's still my favourite vid ever. Plus I don't think I've ever seen a vid from you that I haven't liked or thought was well done. You have a talent for this. You deserve to be recognized. *hugs*
